Role Overview

Kanerika is looking for a Senior SEO Strategist who doesn’t just “optimize pages,” but builds scalable, AI-driven growth systems. This role sits at the intersection of SEO, automation, and revenue strategy—where experimentation meets execution.
You will be responsible for driving organic growth that contributes directly to a $35M pipeline target for 2026, while positioning Kanerika as a globally recognized data & AI brand across the U.S. and Europe.
